PHASE 2 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CODE STREAMLINING AND UPDATES PROJECT
City Hall Council Chambers – 380 A Avenue

Presentation at 5:45 p.m.

The City of Lake Oswego is hosting a community Open House on December 13th to provide information about draft code concepts for streamlining commercial zoning land use standards and removing barriers to mixed use development in these zones.

Stop by City Hall to review the draft code concepts anytime between 5:30-7:30 p.m. Staff will give a brief presentation about the project at 5:45 p.m.

The Phase 2 Community Development Code Streamlining and Updates project continues the work of the 2010 Community Development Code Audit and the Phase 1 Code Reorganization project completed earlier this year. It also supports the We Love Lake Oswego Comprehensive Plan Update. The goal of this initiative is to make the Code more clear, concise, adaptable and user-friendly. The updates are also intended to facilitate future housing and job growth in existing commercial and mixed use areas instead of in low density neighborhoods.

Feedback from the Open House will be shared with the project Advisory Committee, Planning Commission and Development Review Commission this winter as part of their review of the code concepts. More information about this project can be found at http://www.ci.oswego.or.us/planning/pp-12-0007-phase-2-community-develop.... (Please note that this open house will only address the commercial and mixed use zoning component of the overall project.)
